With heightened concern around COVID-19, many schools and universities worldwide are building disaster mitigation plans and preparing for school-wide closures. In response to this, Adobe will be providing schools and universities that have Creative Cloud access in on-site computer labs with temporary at-home licences of Creative Cloud desktop apps for their students and faculty, and Adobe will bring forward or move back this date based on how the situation evolves. This will enable students to continue their learning remotely. This offer is subject to qualification: https://helpx.adobe.com/enterprise/kb/covid-19-education-labs.html
Adobe will enable Creative Cloud desktop app access to students in faculties which are part of an eligible educational institute. All Creative Cloud desktop apps that are available in an All Apps subscription will be available.
Please refer to the following links for further information:
- HelpX page, including how educational users can request access
- Adobe Distance Learning Resources on Adobe Education Exchange
What’s next:
Monday, 16 March: Adobe will send IT admin e-mail to K12 and Higher Education customers (Take note: Adobe will not be e-mailing students or the faculty directly)
Friday, 20 March: Adobe begins entitling customers
Adobe also has a vital role to play in organisations. It is offering free 90-day access to Adobe Connect, which is a Web conferencing solution, until 1 July 2020. This offer gives users the ability to join meetings, training and virtual classrooms from the safety of their homes. To learn more, please check out the Adobe Connect blog here.
